NE-4000T Series User's Manual

Connecting the Power

Connect the 12-30 VDC power line to NE-4000T-ST's terminal block. If the power cord is
properly connected, the "POWER" LED will illuminate in red. When the system boots up and is
ready to go, the "Ready" LED will illuminate in green.

Connecting to the Network

Connect one end of the Ethernet Cable to NE-4000T-ST's Ethernet port and the other end of the
cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, NE-4000T-ST will indicate a
valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
The Link LED will maintain a solid green color when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet
network.
The Link LED will flicker when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Use a serial data cable to connect a serial device to the NE-4000T-ST board when testing and
developing applications. NE-4000T-ST's serial port also serves as a serial console port. You may
find it convenient to use the serial console utility during the production stage to configure a large
number of NE-4000T modules before installing the modules in the serial device.

DI/O Settings

NE-4000T Embedded Network Enabler supports 8 Digital I/Os.

Digital Output

Each Digital Output uses 2 signals to control the devices connected to the terminal block on the
evaluation board (NE-4000T-ST), such as relay devices. The 2 signals are formed by changes
between high and low voltages. For example, you can program DOØ to maintain a "high voltage"
(in this case, the DOØ's LED will not light up), and change to "low voltage" (in this case, the
DOØ's LED will light up) when you wish to trigger the relay device. By using these 2 output
signals, you can control the on/off status of your devices.
